Our users love the core functionality of our Stock Photography theme so much that we decided to add it to our new Sell Photos theme too. With some added features:

Left column navigation – In addition to your photographs getting all the glory from maximum screen space, your website will mimic major e-commerce sites.

Slideshow on the home page – Showcase your best photos in the home page slideshow. Add as many slides as you like. All slides can link anywhere within your site. Impressive!

Easy to find advanced search field – Search takes ready-to-buy customers directly to what they are looking for. More money in your wallet!

Infinite Price Groups – Charge different clients different prices? No problem. Infinite control over how you price your products.

Why left column navigation? Aside from the fact that it gives you more screen space for your photos, it increases sales. (Don’t believe us? Check out any major e-commerce website. There’s a reason that these billion dollar companies use left column navigation. The reason? It sells.)

Why did we give you the option of a home page slideshow with unlimited slides? This was the number one feature request for our Stock Photography theme. We made sure to include it with the Sell Photos theme. It looks great with all of the extra space we freed up with the left column navigation. Your clients will be able to interact with your photos the moment they hit your site.

Why did we make the search field easier to find? You customers want your photos. They want them fast. Search is the way to get them to what they want the fastest. Happy customers. Happy you.

Why did we add infinite price groups? You guys saw so many creative ways to use our Sell Media plugin that we had to add this feature to fit your imagination. Now you are no longer limited to three price groups. You can charge whatever you want, however you want.

Yes, it works with anything your can upload into WordPress. But please note: Many of the features contained in this theme are specific to image metadata/exif. This was built to work with images best and we haven’t fully tested with other types of media. Simply upload the video (or zip it up first) and assign a Featured Image to each item you want to sell.

Cool theme. I like the minimal aesthetic. Three questions: 1) What are the font options? 2) It seems to perform well on the iPhone – is it technically a responsive theme? 3) Is there a masonry layout option, or are the thumbs all fixed pixel dimensions displayed on a fixed grid?

Since there is not a support forum set up for this yet, I’ll have to ask this here. I was creating my site using the Stock Photography theme and decided to try this one to see if I like it better. The FIRST thing I noticed is how incredibly SOFT the images are in the home page slideshow. I’m a long-time GPP theme user and my other sites do not have this problem, even with the same image files. I have tried the GPP image quality plugin but I don’t see a huge difference and it significantly slows down the already image-heavy (slow) site. What’s the best practice for best image quality for this theme?

Ok I understand where to do this, but still can’t find the correct sizes. What should the three sizes be for optimal performance for Sell PHotos? If it’s in the readme.txt, then it is too obscure for me to find.

Additionally, I can’t find how to set the image that shows in the “Collection” thumbnail. In Stock Photography, it was the most recently uploaded image that appeared in the thumb. But now in Sell Photos, that’s not the case. I want to designate the photo in the Collection thumb but can’t figure how.

Thanks. I just noticed the update and installed it. I also noticed the new ability to sort by Collection and Price Group, too. THANK. YOU. Now if only we can bulk edit pricing (after upload)??? 🙂 Thanks for the hard work. I look forward to showing it off soon.

Great Theme, a new step to excellence. I see you’ve implmented many improvements. Just some questions:

1. Portfolios: With this new Theme, may I differentiate my PORTFOLIOS (small sets of pictures organized around a subject that show the best of my work) from COLLECTIONS (huge sets of pictures that I want to sell)?

2. Have you implemented a gallery to show the Portfolios (with buttons and thumbnails to go from one picture to another) and review the pictures as a continuous experience (not one by one)? This is important as the behaviour of a person who wants to BUY pictures is very different from a person who want to REVIEW the work of a photographer to hire him/her. The gallery of the initial slideshow is nice (pictures are big), could I use it as a gallery in a Portfolios section?

3. Are all thumbnails SQUARE in this Theme as they were in Stock Photography Theme?

4. Advertising: do you have Ads Widgets integrated with the Blog section of the Theme, or will we have to use Text Widgets to add ads?

5. I read long time ago that left column navigation presented problems for Google bot to read and index a web site, so all the Themes became right column navigation. Do you know if that point has been solved?

6. What’s the advantage of left column navigation? The column has the same size, so it’s only a matter of having a “modern” design… or is it something I’m missing?

1. Yes. Create a new category for Posts called “Portfolio” and upload all pictures you want to that category. Then, you can add a menu link to that specific “Portfolio” category in your main menu. All posts support a variety of post formats (gallery, image, link, etc)

2. We are adding image navigation to the next version.
3. Yes, all thumbnails are square (better for design).
4. No, but there are a lot of free plugins for managing ads in sidebars (this theme as a few widgetized areas).
5. I haven’t ever heard this. I think Google is smart enough to solve this by now if it ever was an issue.
6. It increases the main content area and also brings your content to the top, above “the fold” of the browser.

2. This will be a HUGE advance. If I can give my opinion Sidewinder Theme style galleries is fast and stylish and images are shown big… Galleries for Portfolios are in my honest opinion, A MUST for a Theme for Photographers.
3. I partly agree: better for design but not all the pictures can be cropped to a square to produce a meaningful thumbnail.

3. Yes , definitely better for design but not so great for clients. A lot of clients want to see the complete image in a thumbnail version. A square does not really show them what the image looks like. Can full thumbnails not be set into a square box like in the PhotoShelter themes?

Need to show the price range for the photo without having to click the Purchase button. Below or above the Purchase button, should read something like “Starting at $xx.00” and show the lowest price assigned to the image.

1 – It would be nice to have release information for images in the Sell Media Plugin where you can specify Released, Not Released, Property Release, For Editorial Use Only, etc.
2 – Is there someway to specify image size in the pricing structure. Not width and height but simply total image size?

I agree 100%: if thumbnails have to be square beacuse of design, the capability of deciding at least which part of the image will be the thumbnail is compulsory. Otherwise the thumbs are not going to representative of the picture, and it’s the part of the photograph the client sees before deciding to click to see the full size image.

I’m really trying to understand Sell Media theme and the plugin. I’ve downloaded the plugin and trying to understand it.

1.) If I offer different pic sizes, do I need to upload a separate file for each size?
2.) How does the file get delivered to the customer once they buy it. I suspect email. How does it know which file (size) to deliver?
3.) Can you point me to a knowledge base article on this or help me figure this out and I’ll write the article so everyone can share it.

Please get back with me. I’ve written this question is several different spots on the site, support, etc, but haven’t heard back. I’m sure is a super simple to explain I just am not seeing it as I work with the plugin.

Once I get all these processes worked out I can move forward with a new site, buying the theme, plugins ext…

1. No. The plugin generates all the different files for you based on the sizes you set on the Sell Media -> Settings page.
2. Email. It’s just that smart. It’s in the code.
3. We’re gathering all common questions and posting them in the FAQ section of the Sell Media plugin.

Thad – I have a somewhat unique idea for this theme. I am the administrator for the wholesale website for a national consumer goods company. I have a library of images and visual tools to help retailers sell our product and I’m looking to offer them always for free, but always with a password required to view the site. Do you think this theme would be a good solution? Thanks!

I’m a bit confused… it’s said a lot on the site that Sell Media is a Free plugin. If so where can I download it?
if it is not free – can it be purchased and used on other wordpress themes? (the ones from theme forest for example?)
Thanks you.

The Absolute most important feature I require is watermarks on images. Can this theme overlay a watermark on each image before purchasing and allow the persons to purchase the watermark free version? I can’t seem to find any good options to do that.
